We Will Miss Aunt Laverne

Well on Monday evening Matt's Great Aunt Laverne passed away. Today is the funeral. Please pray for peace, comfort, and strength for Matt's family...especially his Granddaddy as this was his sister and they were very close. Aunt Laverne was such a fun lady and we really thought that she would out live us all.

She was so social and just as sweet as she could be to everyone she met. She was quite the hostess! She always had a full spread and would not let ANY guest lift a finger to help.

She LOVED our sweet babies and was an avid reader of this blog. I always thought it was so nice of her to care about our day to day life.

She was always positive and had a compliment just waiting for you! She really made everyone around her feel special and loved.

She was one of the most generous people I have ever met. When my sister threw my baby showers, she called her personally each time to thank her for caring enough about us to throw us a shower and explained how much that meant to her.

She has the most beautiful soul and we miss her SO MUCH already!

"Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus dies and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him." 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

I was reading in my bible today and came across this verse. Now I know there are probably better verses out there to communicate this (and there is more to the verse) but the point is that even though we miss her very much we WILL get to see her again one day because we know the Truth about Jesus!! Our family takes great comfort in this.

So sorry about Aunt Laverne. She looks like such a sweet person!! We will be praying for the family.Your other post are so cute. Lilly cracks me up!! Reid is getting so big. Where did our newborns go?I'll call you and we'll get the kids soon.

The Parents

I snagged Matt up out of the dating pool and we got married 8 1/2 years ago! He is an amazing husband to me and awesome father to our two little ones. We are just a couple of Christian people trying to get closer to God, reflect Him better, and raise our children in His Word and His Way!! We are loving every minute of this busy/fun/blessed life!

Silly Lilly

This little princess is a mixture of sweet and sassy! She keeps us laughing with practically every word that comes out of her mouth. She can melt your heart with a smile and a giggle and then turn right around and keep you on your toes with some mischeviousness! Her facial expressions give away her every thought and we just couldn't love her more (but somehow tomorrow we will)!

Reidster Speedster

This is our boy with the magic smile! He is a perfect mixture of sweet and snugglie and ALL boy. He is laid-back like his Daddy and full of energy like his sister. He is happy climbing and dancing or curled up reading a book with Mommy. He is always learning some new trick and we can't wait to see what he is going to do and say next!

The Family

My handsome man and I have been married for 7 years. We are the extremely blessed parents of Lilly and Reid. This blog documents our lives, allows the grandparents and other family to see regular pictures of the little cuties, and helps friends and family stay in the know about us! Overall, we are simply a God-loving family of four!
